Jointly with Konrad Lorenz, he laid the foundation for a new science, the biological study of animal behaviour. 'Ethology', and his talent for devising behaviour-testing experiments, provided an outlet for Niko's enthusiasm for gulls and sticklebacks, snow-buntings and foxes, wasps and falcons, and even children.This first full-length biography of Niko Tinbergen, lavishly illustrated with many of Niko's own drawings, describ 606 $aEthologists$zNetherlands$vBiography 606 $aAnimal behavior 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthologists 615 0$aAnimal behavior. 676 $a591.5/092 676 $a591.5092 700 $aKruuk$b H$g(Hans),$0852295 702 $aTinbergen$b Niko 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455999703321 996 $aNiko's nature$92444770 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03124nam 2200685Ia 450 001 9910451610503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a94-012-0564-7 010 $a1-4356-4461-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000488393 035 $a(EBL)556509 035 $a(OCoLC)714567268 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000257650 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12093501 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000257650 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10253595 035 $a(PQKB)11655062 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC556509 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL556509 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10380597 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000488393 100 $a20080508d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aTexts, tasks, and theories$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Tobias Robert Klein, Ulrike Auga & Viola Pru?schenk 210 $aAmsterdam ;$aNew York $cRodopi$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (241 p.) 225 1 $aMatatu ;$vno. 35 225 1 $aVersions and subversions in African literatures ;$v3 225 1 $aHumboldt contributions ;$vv. 3 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-420-2374-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aTexts, Tasks, and Theories; CONTENTS; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND NOTICE; INTRODUCTION; LANGUAGE, MODERNISM, AND MODERNITY; NEW READINGS IN AFRICAN LITERATURE AND POSTCOLONIAL THEORY; AFRICAN LITERATURE AND CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY: IDENTITY, DISSIDENCE, AND CULTURAL PRACTICE; NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS AND EDITORS; NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS 330 $aAfrican literary theory has recently gained immensely from an emerging multitude of perspectives and scholarly approaches. This volume offers a welcome opportunity to assess trends in the twenty-first century's discourse on African literature: Twelve different articles treat such lively issues as modernity, nation, civil society, postcolonial theory, and feminism, relating these both to more recent short stories, poems, and novels and to a large variety of texts that have in one way or another acquired canonical status.
